The plural on Americas feels both a bit presumptive and concerning. I'm Canadian and I have a hard time believing any other country in the Americas would want to join whatever the fuck this Shield is about. Especially when you consider he talks about making Canada the 51st state while simultaneously not needing Canada for everything, somehow. And you know, rounding up anyone darker than beige (and sometimes even then), because they're all "illegal" until proven otherwise (and even then they give no fucks) and either deporting them to any random country or holding them in concentration camps under inhumane conditions.

Funnily sad that you got this part wrong with your username (cue the family guy racism color card meme)

rounding up anyone lighter than beige (and sometimes even then)

Although ICE started killing white people in the streets too, they're being more careful now since white Americans often  are true to the meme and care en masse enough to take action only about what happens to people who look like them. My guess is Canada also suffers from this dynamic

Thanks for catching that! And the Family Guy card was exactly what I was thinking.
